Availability

I work part-time for 7-8 hours some days and dogs will be left at home alone while I’m working. I book accordingly with my schedule and don’t tank on pups just for pay. I will always make sure your pup(s) feel like they are at memaw’s house. Moreover, have many trustworthy friends and neighbors and friends who can pop in if needed.

Matthew H.'s Neighborhood

Welcome to Pooches and Pooches

Pet care experience

I'm here for the pooches. Consider your pup on vacation while you're away. I can promise your dog has a fun day regardless the weather. No sad dogs sitting by themselves, waiting for you to return. I will play, walk, run and roll around with your dog all day long to ensure they are getting the attention and activity they need. I have a large and beautiful backyard that will help ensure even the crustiest of pooches will have a good time. No matter if you have an active dog that likes to play fetch or a timid one who likes to play lap dog, I promise quality care for your sweet pups. *Day care rates cover an 8-9 hours shift, beginning at time of drop off. *Overnight stays cover 24 hours and begin from time of drop off. Minimum of 2 nights required. *Single overnight stays are not available. If you need a single night stay I am willing to book 2, 8 hour shifts of doggy daycare, covering 24 hours of service.

Matthew is a great pet sitter! This is the second time he watched Rosie at his apartment (with awesome backyard!), and he kept me up to date with photos and videos the whole time. Great to know your dog is in good hands when you're gone. Thank you so much!
